Agnes Gorge — Monday, Apr. 28, 2025

The trail starts just past High Bridge in the North Cascades National Park, and is not to be confused with the Agnes Creek Trail that connects to the PTC at Suiattle Pass.  My wife and I took our time, so it took us maybe 90 minutes from High Bridge to the end of the trail.  Spring runoff made for some pretty spectacular water flow through the gorge and over the various waterfalls.  Lots of spring flowers along the way as well!  Our only complaint (and this is a new one for us on this trail) was the ticks!  We like to visit Stehekin in early spring to avoid the mosquitoes, but this year was the first time we had to worry about ticks.  After the hike, I found 4 on me and my wife had 3.  Beautiful hike otherwise!
